I don't have any experience with the Unix DNS helpers, but as I understand
it, you could actually use the Logresolve that is used on your other log
files, or you could use jdresolve, which will even handle unresolvable
addresses, by "constructing a fake address ... based on resolving the
parent domain".

Note that, as far as I know, both of these actually modify your logfiles,
whereas there are some Analog specific helpers that actually create an
Analog format DNS file - I don't know which of the Unix ones do this, but
QDNS does this for Windows.
